She is at the COC Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. Mobile on Wednesday and Friday. Usually there from 8 to 4. April is sexual assault awareness month. They have life size cutouts of a person and parts of a story are written on them. They are looking for places to put them. TESSA deals with survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault and human trafficking. They can meet people anywhere if someone doesn’t feel safe at their office. They can take donations here – toiletry items are a need.Department reportsClerk – Report is attached. Talked about the agenda software and asked the board to try it out.Police – The new radios had the wrong kind of encryption. They don’t interact with El Paso County. Motorola has stated 700. To bring them up to compliance. Dave does not want to pay that. Ask if they will meet us in the middle. Dave will let the board know. Dave has been approached by the school regarding an SRO for the school. One officer would be dedicated to the school on school days. The school will fund the position- benefits and salary, they will also cover liability insurance and worker’s compensation. They will still be our officer and we will dictate their duties. They sent over an IGA and we sent to our attorney. We will have to hire another officer to fill that spot. We currently have an officer out on unpaid leave. Dave let that officer go and hired Anthony Tribuzio. We are picking up our new car on Saturday. The old charger will be used by the SRO. IF the school pulls the funding that position is lost. Other officers in the department can be trained also. Make sure there is a backup. This could be put in place within 30 days. Will need to approve at the April meeting. If needed, can schedule a special meeting.Public Works – Sewer effluent building is working well. Contacted 3 electrical contractors to get us quotes for the sewer building.
